Never stop a spinning flywheel with your bare hand or bare foot as it may cause friction burns. • Do not let the moving arm (swing beam) hit the LegExx, absorb the eccentric load before it hits the foam bumper.
LegExx manual v1.2 CONTENTS This Manual describes the Exxentric Leg Extension Machine, or LegExx, which is a Flywheel Training Device. It will also guide you through its use and how to maintain the device. Always check exxentric.com/support for latest info and manuals.
Maximum weight allowed on LegExx 350 kg (772 lbs) Included with the LegExx: Tool bag, printed manual, built-in kMeter II and an XL Flywheel. *) Inertia factor means the highest possible inertia divided by the lowest possible inertia. With the advanced flywheel knob it is possible to reach an inertia factor of x84 and an inertia range of 0.005 to 0.420 kgm...

There are five differently sized flywheels, with inertia 0.005, 0.010, 0.025, 0.050, and 0.070 kgm They all fit the LegExx, and up to four flywheels of varying sizes can be mounted at any one time. This will give a range of inertia between 0.005 and 0.280 kgm...
The potentially higher exertion on the LegExx may lead to a need for longer resting periods between sessions to fully recover. *) Hypertrophy refers to an increase in muscle size achieved through exercise.

At just 95 kg (209 lbs), with wheels in the front and handles in the back, it is easy to move the LegExx around on floor surfaces. When moving the LegExx, always put the backrest in its frontmost position.

LegExx manual v1.2 Adjustable Shin Pads Set the height of the adjustable shin pads by holding the black leather handle whilst releasing the pull pin knob. Lift or lower the beam to reach the desired height of the adjustable shin pads. When lifting the beam, you can use your feet to get an extra push upwards.

Make sure the strap is strong enough for your purposes and make sure to absorb all of the energy in the downward phase. Exxentric does not take any responsibility for personal injuries or damages that might arise from misuse.

LegExx manual v1.2 Seat belt The LegExx is equipped with a seat belt. Adjust the seat belt by pulling the strap in either direction. To lock the belt, put the flat part in the buckle. To release, lift the flap of the buckle and pull out the flat part.

Make sure you get an adequate amount of rest between sets. Use the support handles on the sides for extra stability. Mounting for assisted It is strongly recommended to bolt the LegExx to the overload training floor if it is to be used for assisted overload training.
Page 16
Assisted overload training is achieved by pulling the overload handle whilst extending your legs to accelerate the flywheel. Then, you can absorb all of the energy in the exxentric phase using only your legs. Either the user themselves pulls the overload Handle, or an assisting trainer or spotter does.
Medium to high intensity at medium to high inertia Higher inertia More eccentric overload For all Exxentric devices, we want to stress that new exercises and users should be taught using MEDIUM inertia and LOW intensity. Since this will be slow, controlled and submaximal forces, it is easier to correct and there is less risk of injury or technical error.

Drive Belt cautions The drive belt and its attachment to the shaft is the most sensitive part of the LegExx. Be attentive to wear and check regularly. When the belt shows signs of wear and tear, trim the end by cutting off the damaged area or replace it with an original spare drive belt.

If the shaft cover was removed, put it back in place. Maintenance of The LegExx center parts (shaft, bearings and flanges) the Screws are subject to heavy and repeated forces. We recommend that you inspect the screws and tighten them quarterly.
The kMeter Module allows you to connect your smartphone or tablet with your LegExx and get live training feedback. The LegExx has the new generation of kMeter module (kMeter II) built-in. The kMeter II is powered by two AA batteries. How it works The kMeter Module sends wireless data over Bluetooth to the corresponding iOS or Android app.
